Better to adhere to good Cirrhilabrus spp
based on the reading I’ve done it seems that it could work since it is semi-aggressive (no fear of Tomato Clowns), and differs in body size and colour from the Sixline? <>
R3: Adding Another Wrasse To My Tank (Not Going to Be Easy) – Understood. I will keep to the Cirrhilabrus. <> Thanks again for the much appreciated guidance! <>
As he discovers they he chases in the tank in the full rates until a unique hiding spot is located
R4: Adding Another Wrasse To My Tank (Not Going to Be Easy) – Eric, <> I’ll most definitely let you know what goes on when I add the 2nd wrasse. <> I will most likely go with either an Exquisite or Solar Fairy, depending on which of the two I see a good specimen. <> Either way I’m still a few months away. Thanks again for your help. Danny <>
R5: Adding Another Wrasse To My Tank (Not Going to Be Easy) – Got the 2nd wrasse, a Cirrhilabrus solorensis about 4″ and the Sixline went after it within short time. <> I’ve turn off all the lights and will let the new wrasse acclimate over night. <> Would you recommend returning the Cirrhilabrus solorensis ASAP, or give them some time to get used to each and in time they will co-exist? <>
R2: Adding Another Wrasse To My Tank (Not Going to Be Easy), now Thalassoma – I’ve seen a Blue Headed Wrasse (Thalassoma bifasciatum) and find them to be quite spectacular <>
R6: Adding Another Wrasse To My Tank (Not Going to Be Easy) – Lights are back on and the Sixline is after the Solar again, seems like he’s on a mission. <> Even when the Solar Wrasse finds a hiding place the Sixline relentlessly searches for it. this cycle has repeated itself several times but so far no one seems hurt. Will this settle down in time and if so what signs should I look for? <> If not, how long do I wait to try and remove one of the two, which would be decided by which one I can actually catch. <> R7: Adding Another Wrasse To My Tank (Not Going datemyage to Be Easy) – Solar is hiding for the last 8 hours or so under some rock and the Sixline seems a little less interested in finding it then before. <> I also re-aquascaped part of the tank to hopefully disorient the Sixline a bit and enforce a truce while they all laid low. <> An hour or so after I finished, the Sixline did find the Solar Wrasse in its hiding spot but just swam up to its face and stared it down for a while. This time Solar didn’t make a run for it but instead just backed in deeper after the Sixline left. Hope this is a good sign since I really like both fish. All that being said, how long should I wait to see if the Solar comes out and feeds before getting concerned? <>
